Visiting Morocco
During their stay in Morocco, they met with schoolchildren and teachers during their tour of the school in Asni Town in the Atlas Mountains, and they stopped by the original Education For All boarding house. Omid Scobie, a royal commentator shared on Twitter, “In Asni Town for Harry and Meghan’s first engagement of the day. Students from the @EFAMorocco boarding house (where girls from rural areas stay to be closer schools to continue their education) are ready for the couple’s arrival.” Scobie also tweeted, “Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan arrive at the first of @EFAMorocco’s five boarding houses. Here Harry will invest founder Michael McHugo with the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (recognizing his services to improving gender equality in education in Morocco).”

Meghan Markle’s henna tattoo
While visiting boarding house, the Duchess of Sussex received a henna tattoo on her right hand, and during her tattoo session, the Duchess commented, “That’s really lovely.” Samira, a 17-year-old girl who applied the henna tattoo, revealed a meaning behind Meghan’s flowers, “It is a traditional practice for pregnant women in Morocco. It is to bring luck for the baby.” It is given to the women in their third trimester to bless the mother and the baby, and to prevent evil spirits to harm them during labor.

Is henna safe during pregnancy?
People stated, “Natural henna, typically brown and derived solely from plants, and with no added chemicals, is safe to use during pregnancy, according to experts. Black henna, however, contains a dye called para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and is not safe.” Khadeja Oukattou, one of the housemothers, revealed to People why is the visit of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of great value to them. “It’s a dream for us to have the couple here. The girls are so, so happy to have them here. We are really happy to have them in our house,” Oukattou shared. She continued, “It’s for when we have a big party. Now she is pregnant we do the henna to keep her happy with the baby. For good luck.”
